1.Scientist believe the decline is
due to illegal hunting.
2.Scientist say a rise in sea levels could destroy the Bengal's habitat and wipe out 96% of tiger population by 2070.

1.Some causes to the tiger population declining are people illegally hunting tigers and tigers can not find any food to eat.
2.Scientists think the sea levels will rise nintysix percent high and will kill all the tigers and they will be extinct.
3.The population of tigers expanded from Russia to China and there will be the same amount of tigers as there was last time.
4.The cause is that there is a new rule its that people cant hunt tigers and kill them.
5.My final thoughts about the tiger population declining is it was sad how the tigers got killed by pepole illegally hunting and the should be a law for every country and place in the world there should be no hunting so no animals wont be extinct.

1) Some of the causes of the decline in population are illegal hunting, climbate change, and susbstantial loss of habitat and prey.

2) The effects that could happen due to the sea levels rising are that they can drown and die.

3) The effect in this paragraph is that they are looking for ways to protect the tiger habatat and are cracking down on hunting for tigers.

4) The cause is that tigers have an low population because people are hunting for them very often and the climbate is also interfearing, so that causes them to aventually die.
